General Information

In Canada, the income tax year is from January 1 to December 31 and the deadline to complete and mail your Income Tax forms is April 30.

Students are responsible for determining their residency status for tax purposes and for paying the correct amount of tax. Most international students “file a tax return” (submit an income tax form to the government) in order to receive tax credits (money from governments or the chance to lower taxes later).

Students can get help with filing their tax return at tax clinics on campus (see below) and in the London community.

Students should be vigilant when they receive phone calls, emails, text messages and mail that appear to be coming from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requesting personal information such as a social insurance number, credit card number, bank account number, or passport number. CRA will NOT call and ask you to make a payment immediately or use threatening language. CRA WILL send you an email that asks you to login to their MyAccount system to see the contents of your message.

Do you need to file a tax return?

As an international student, any income you earn during the calendar year while in Canada may be subject to Canadian Income Tax and you therefore are required to file a tax return. Income you earn can be through work, scholarships, bursaries, research grants, fellowships, investments, etc. Generally, students also have to report income they receive from outside of Canada. Depending on the amount of money you earned, you may receive a refund, but it is also possible that you may have to pay taxes.

If you did not earn any income, there are still benefits to filing a tax return such as being eligible to receive certain payments or tax credits.

Filing Your Taxes

What you need

How to file

As soon as you get a SIN or ITN, enter it in your Student Center and myHR accounts so that Western can provide the government the accurate information about your taxes.

If you have either of these numbers, but they have expired and you are not currently employed, you can use your expired number for filing your Canadian tax return. If you are currently employed, you must ensure that your SIN is currently valid.

Additional documents you may need to file your taxes

In February you may begin receiving several tax documents (called T-slips) by mail or online (e.g., T4, T4A, T2202A, T5, donation receipts, etc.). Make sure to keep all of these as you will need them to file your Income Tax Return.

The following are common documents international students may need to file a Canadian tax return. Always refer to the Canada Revenue Agency for the most up to date information.

IMPORTANT: Keep copies of all your receipts, income tax forms, and Notices of Assessment for a minimum of six years.

Online

You can file your income tax directly to the Canada Revenue Agency online via NETFILE. Tax returns filed via NETFILE must first be prepared using a NETFILE-certified product you can find on their website, including UFile (through the Canadian Federation of Students for all post-secondary students).

By Paper

Find the forms on the CRA website you need to submit your tax return by paper.

Income Tax Clinics for Students

Every year, the University Student's Council (USC) offers a FREEIncome Tax Clinic for undergraduate students.

There are also a number of FREE Income Tax Clinics throughout the city, through CRA's Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP). The CVITP is a collaboration between the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and community organizations. The organizations host tax preparation clinics and arrange for volunteers to prepare income tax and benefit returns for eligible individuals who have a modest income and a simple tax situation.
